Some time ago I read (possibly on this board) that the moons of the fingernails may either be absent or greatly diminished where a Vit B12 deficiency exists.
My question is: How long does it take for this to improve and the moons to reappear after starting on Vit B12 supplementation such as Methylcobalamin? |

Rose has stated many times, that looking at the moons ONLY is NOT a
reliable test. I have always had B12's in the 800-900 range, and I only have 3 moons. In fact I've never had moons except on my thumbs and one finger (the finger that my dad smashed in a car door, when I was 5). Here is what one website states: Quote:

I've looked around on the net today, and on many boards, and I see most people have them only on the thumbs and a finger or two...just like me. This "moons" issue comes up because a poster from here put that up very aggressively at one time, because SHE saw them change in herself. Just because something works for YOU doesn't mean it can be generalized to everyone. So I think it is a poor diagnostic predictor.

For what it's worth, I have and have always had, normal looking half-moons on all my fingers and thumbs. Must have good B-12 absorption. LoL
